Moon Rocks Brought From the Far Side Confirm Ancient Volcanic Activity
Researchers analysing lunar samples from China’s Chang’e-6 mission have uncovered evidence of ancient volcanic activity on the Moon’s far side. The mission, which returned nearly two kilograms of lunar soil in June, landed in the South Pole-Aitken Basin, one of the Moon’s oldest craters. Studies published in Science and Nature revealed volc...

Scientists Confirm Volcanic Eruptions on Moon’s Far Side in New Study
A recent study has confirmed the existence of volcanic eruptions on the Moon’s far side. By analysing lunar soil samples brought back by China’s Chang’e-6 mission, scientists discovered volcanic rock fragments dating to over 2.8 billion years ago. These findings reveal a long history of volcanic activity on the Moon’s far side, mirroring th...

Meteorite Impacts Not Solar Wind Are Key to Moon’s Atmosphere, New Research Shows
A new study led by MIT's Nicole Nie has determined that meteorite impacts are the main source of the moon’s atmosphere, with impact vaporization accounting for 70% of the exosphere. Solar wind contributes the remaining 30%. This research, using Apollo lunar soil samples, offers a significant update on how the moon’s atmosphere is sustained.
